Transcript
Ch 16, 19.1 & 19.3 History of life and Evolution We will be studying many topics related to life on Earth: o Definition of Theory and Law, what they are/do/mean o the origin of the Earth, Earth’s history and how/when life first developed on Earth o historic ideas about evolution and how the modern theory came to be o the four parts to the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection o evidence for the modern Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection In this unit, we will be looking at how we believe life formed on the Earth. We’ll then look at different theories of how life changes with time. Part of that discussion will include an understanding of what it means to be a scientific theory. Finally we’ll look at the currently accepted scientific theory for Evolution by Natural Selection. We will be focusing our studies only on scientific explanations; those that can be disproven using scientific methodology. At the end of the unit, you will have a mixed format (multiple choice, short answer, diagrams…) test over the material.
